Name: Paulina Villalon
Year: Freshman
Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona
Role at HC Belmont: Writer
What are your interests and hobbies?
Just like most of the Belmont population, I’m a singer/songwriter so music is a huge part of my life. I’m also a big fan of romantic comedies and have seen pretty much all of them.
What are you involved in/off-campus?
I currently work remote for a music-marketing company located back in Phoenix, and have a couple campus jobs in the Art Center. I’m also a member of the BU Songwriting Association.
Why did you choose Belmont?
Since music is a big part of who I am, the music program was definitely a factor. Beyond that, I was really drawn to the community and the focus on academics. Also, the campus pretty much sealed the deal for me.
Any Role Models? Why?
I really look up to Emma Watson, and not just because I’m a huge Hermione fan. She’s a very fierce advocate for women’s rights, and for making sure that girls in third world countries get a chance at an education. Women empowerment is something that I care a lot about so I really appreciate all the good she’s done for that cause.
What is your favorite spot at Belmont? In Nashville?
My favorite spot on campus is in a gazebo. It’s the perfect spot to play guitar, do homework, or just relax.
Fun Fact about me: I’ve taken 6 years worth of classes for dead languages. I took four years of Latin and two of Ancient Greek (and actually liked it).
What is your favorite thing about HC?
I love seeing all the super relatable posts on social media.

Favorite song:
Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers
What’s something you wish more people knew about you?
I am super open minded and non-judgemental. I love when people are just a hundred percent themselves and aren’t afraid to seem weird.
